Daniel Alves (Barcelona)
As reported by Marca, Barcelona's mercurial right-back Dani Alves has returned to the Barca squad after spending a number of weeks out with a muscle tear. The Brazilian is back in the team after training at normal pace over the last few days and will be available for Barca's next match at the Camp Nou against Malaga.

In the three weeks since the player fell to injury, Barca have suffered their first defeat in La Liga, secured a draw in the Champions League against Stuttgart, and recorded two victories against Getafe and Racing Santander.

Seydou Keita and Eric Abidal continue to be out with injury and are the only absences in the Blaugrana squad with Alves' return.
